Abstract
A device is disclosed herein. The device includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection switch and an ESD driver. The ESD driver is configured to receive a first voltage and a second voltage. When a voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is higher than a first voltage threshold, the ESD driver outputs a first trigger signal to turn on the ESD protection switch. When the voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is lower than a second voltage threshold, the ESD driver outputs a second trigger signal to turn on the ESD protection switch.
